    Darkness. It was creeping up on her. Thin little brown legs carried her emaciated cream body through the plains as she urged herself to keep on going. There were so many puddles and the mud reached up like fingers trying to pull her down. The kitten fought the urge to lay down and sleep. She heard her father's words echoing in her ears - "Don't stop Petal. Don't stop my love. Keep going straight until you reach RiverClan - they will take care of you. Don't look back and don't stop and do not lay down and fall asleep. Promise me." She could hear her own weak voice promising him in return as she ran away from him. She didn't turn around, just like she promised. Even when she heard the sound of the dogs ripping him apart. Her father had sacrificed himself so that she could get away. Her little heart almost couldn't take the pain of this immense loss. She never knew her mother because she and her brother died when her mother gave birth and now she had no father either. She couldn't break her promise to her father. She couldn't let him down - he had done so much for her. She had to survive for him.


    The chocolate point kitten fought to keep on running even though she was starving and tired and sore and torn up from bristles and from tripping and falling to the earth. Petal finally reached the river that surrounded the Clan and thought to herself, This must be the place. However, she knew she would not be able to cross and she felt the hope drain from her body. It was barely breaking dawn. It could be hours before anyone found her - if anyone was even here. She could be in the entirely wrong place for all she knew. Petal fell to her stomach when her legs collapsed under her in defeat. The tiny kitten curled up in a ball on the muddy ground, her cream coat completely immersed in the mud from her journey. Her eyes closed and her breathing slowed. She was afraid even if someone did come along they would miss her entirely. She just couldn't make herself get up again. She was slipping into the darkness that was trying so hard to consume her.

    hehe im putting this little baby here and im so excited!


    she just showed up in riverclan - found by doestar and the plan is that doestar will adopt her

    she's had a rough past so she's very fragile mentally and physically too

    her name is petal (will change to petalkit) and she is about six moons old


    open to:

    - interactions

    - friendships

    - crushes (small, nothing long term bc she has problems with commitment)

    - future mentors (will become an apprentice soon)

    - bullying her (for being a loner, bc she's quiet, etc)

    - best friends that will support her

    - pretty much anything, she's a blank slate right now

    petal was just brought into riverclan (will be adopted by doestar) and she is very timid

    maybe she could see glade and be like .... why do u look like me

    - could possibly make her attach to him and follow him around (would be cute bc she's like 6 moons old but she's very childlike and mentally broken rn because of all the trauma she has been through

    It had been a few days since she had arrived in this strange place her father directed her to. She wasn't sure how he knew of this RiverClan but he told her to come straight here without stopping. So for a whole day she ran, finally reaching the river where she was picked up by Doestar and brought to her Clan. But even though she felt safe now, Petal felt more broken and alone than ever. For all six moons of her life, it had just been her and her father; but just a few days ago he was forced to sacrifice himself in order for her to survive. And now she was in this strange place - she was grateful - but uncomfortable. She so desperately wanted RiverClan to feel like home but it was going to take a lot of adjusting.


    For now, the tiny kitten laid in camp, letting the sun warm her cream fur. There was still mud coating some areas of her fur where she could not reach to clean herself. Bones were sticking out at odd angles and she looked like she might be fall to pieces if someone bumped her in the right place. She had scratches covering her cheeks and flanks from where she ran through the bristles without slowing down to dodge them. Her feet were also torn up and raw. Petal had the potential to be quite beautiful but all-in-all she looked like a horrifying mess at the moment. That's what coming near death did to her.


    Petal was trying so hard to erase all the memories of the last few days but it was haunting her. She had hardly spoken since she arrived and a frown stayed locked on her face. Her mind kept winding, wondering, "What could I have done differently to help my daddy survive?" And that's where she sat through the morning - eyebrows furrowed in concentration, frowning, and looking like a damaged mess.
